Wonderful set of techniques to open new creative outlets in sound design. One of the better tutorials I've watched on the subject. The demos are well presented, the perfect length, and the instructors enthusiasm is clear. If you sound design you should definitely watch this.
My favorite bits involved parts of Serum I didn't know existed! Very useful tips.

After, initially, having a problem getting my purchased and downloaded version of this tutorial to play in N.E.D. on my MacBook Pro, a quick note to MPV Support had the issue sorted out very quickly. Now I can say that, if you own, or are thinking of getting, an Arturia Drumbrute, this course has all the info you'll need to get you up to speed in no time. I enjoy Multiplier's enthusiastic teaching style. I recommend this course and kudos to MPV who continue to show excellent customer support, a big reason they are my main source of teaching material for all things musical!!
